Cross Canada LC and GC Seminar Series


 
 

Introducing Agilent’s NEW 1200 Series LC System & Recent Innovations in GC and GC/MS

All Seminar Attendees
Will Receive:

  • Course book
  • Seminar Certificate
  • 25% off Agilent LC and GC Columns Coupon

Join Us! In March, Agilent introduced the 1200 Series LC system,
replacing its market-leading 1100 Series LC. This is the most comprehensive LC System available with more than 60 instrument modules with a large range of ZORBAX columns. We also introduced the 1200 Rapid Resolution System, which provides 20 times faster analysis and 60 percent higher resolution than conventional LC, making it twice as fast and three times as precise as the competitions best systems. Find out more by attending the afternoon LC and LC/MS talks!

The morning session will feature talks for GC and GC/MS users and will discuss the secrets of utilizing Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) for optimum performance, the importance of GC column dimension (Fast GC) and the impact that microfluidics has had in terms of flexibility and enhancing the analyst’s overall capabilities. Please join us for either a half or full day of these informative presentations on practical approaches to improving the chromatographic performance in your laboratory.

All the performance.
All the time.

 
 
 

Agenda

8:00 - 8:30 am

Coffee and Registration
8:30 - 9:30 am
Utilizing EPC in GC and GC/MS for Optimum Results
Proper use of electronic pneumatic control (EPC) of GC carrier gas is critical to modern GC and GC/MS performance. This presentation will explore the utility of EPC and discuss the opportunities to use it in a practical and beneficial way. Topics covered include carrier flow ramping, constant pressure/constant flow/constant velocity operation, setting and optimizing flows, and choice of carrier gas (He, H2, N2).
9:30 - 9:45 am

9:45 - 10:45 am
Microfluidics Devices – Adding a Degree of Freedom and Flexibility
Deans Switching has been around since 1968 but has suffered from hardware limitations and manual controlled devices. Recent developments have automated this so that it is simple for the analysts to take advantage of this wonderful tool. This seminar will discuss microfluidic device applications including heart-cutting, 2-dimensional chromatography and the use of the Agilent Quick Swap in GC/MS.
10:45 am - 11:00 am Break
11:00am - 12:00 pm

Optimizing the GC Column Dimensions for Faster Analyses
The selection of capillary GC column dimensions—length and internal diameter—is complicated by the wide range in column choices. Oftentimes, a longer than necessary length is selected, leading to slow analysis times. Many analysts will find that existing methods may benefit by migrating to shorter (i.e. from 30 to 20 m), narrower columns (from 0.25 to 0.18 mm) without any loss of resolution. The complementary GC method software, “GC Method Translator”, will be discussed and utilized to demonstrate how easily these methods can be translated.

12:00 - 1:00 pm

More Choices: Introducing the New 1200 Series LC System and the New
Rapid Resolution LC

How do you follow the most successful HPLC in the world? The 1200 is reverse-compatible with the 1100, and offers capability for “semi-prep” through capillary-, nano- and high resolution/fast LC. You get the best of both worlds, without compromising any performance at all! This talk will describe the 1200 system and how you can pick the configuration that best serves your needs
2:00 - 2:30 pm
More choices in LC/MS: Introducing the 6000 Series LC/MS systems
The Agilent 6000 Series of LC/MS systems includes new triple quadrupole and Q-TOF instruments, as well as new models of Agilent's single quadrupole, ion trap, and TOF mass spectrometers. The 6000 Series brings new levels of performance to LC/MS, and is uniquely differentiated by providing levels of reliability and ease of use not found in current LC/MS systems from other vendors. Proprietary technologies in hardware and applicationspecific
software bring both state-of-the-art performance and maximum productivity to your laboratory
2:30 - 2:45 pm
Break
2:45 - 4:00 pm
All the Performance: The Secrets of Rapid Resolution LC— Ultra-fast and High-resolution Separations in LC and LC/MS with 1.8 μm ZORBAX RRHT Columns
Rapid Resolution HT 1.8μm, columns are in high demand today because of their ability to provide outstanding performance in both high throughput and high resolution applications. To maximize performance results with this new column technology, several key column parameters had to be studied and optimized. This presentation will review these key parameters, the impact on the column and the columns’ use in the analytical laboratory.
